How cheap is cheap ?

Sorry !
I dont know how explain in english, i see some blue laser but at 80$ for exemple, too expensive for me.
Cheap like no name laser, because it's just for fun, discover blue laser

Blue lasers are not going to be "cheap". Mw per mw they are cheaper than green lasers, but you're still going to pay $70+

I know how you feel, mister Gordon. I want a Lamborghini for $80, but the world is too cruel.

Unless you want to make one yourself ---$80 is the lowest price I have seen for a 445nm blue laser, complete, even at low outputs of 100mw, 200mw, and 500mw.

Search all the Chinese laser web sites and see what you can find.

Try 2 years ago when the cheapest blue lasers were $500+ for 10mW

If you're going to be a low-baller, this is the wrong hobby for you.

Only way to go cheap is buy part per part at a time, and assemble everything when you collected all the parts.

I built a 1.3W 445nm laser with goggles, batteries, charger, focus adapter for 95.50$

22.50$ host/heatsink
---60$ module
----5$ goggles
----6$ batteries+charger
----0$ focus adapter (found it laying around, made it work)
----2$ heatshrink

It's just a matter of finding the best prices I suggest just saving a new bucks here and there and doing the same.

Around 6... that's 6 too many haha! I stopped using my curtains as a beam stopper and started using black metal

I too burned my curtains covering my sliding glass door. They are maroon plastic slats, and i didnt even realize it until I smelled smoke!

My wife got a new sewing machine for xmas. When she made new curtains, we noticed that my laser not only burned through the old ones, but also into the white paint behind the curtains Oops...
